Years ago Ihe slale Grange shoved an oleomargarine tax through the Idaho legislature. Bui a few months ago' Grange leaders came yelling back to Washington to pro- lesl what Nevada had done to Idaho. Representative Halleck of Indiana, one of several members of Congress seeking suppression of such laws, is particularly irate about milk regulations. He said regulations once designed to protect the health of milk drinkers had been bent around to protect milk Prices Go Up It works this way: City authorities permit entry of milk only from dairies inspected by cily or state inspectors. That sounds beneficial.

But, says Halleck, In no time at all the dairies within such 'states persuaded the inspectors to limit their inspections to dairies within the state or within a prescribed area, shutting out other competition. "In nearly every Instance," Halleck, "milk prices climbed." He is particularly incensed that the nation's very capital haa that sort of milk inspection scheme.

Today we jaze upon this seemingly endless shulfle of sober, scared little faces in quiet contemplation of this Accomplished mother's poignant words: "Nobody wants them." Instinctively, American hearts say, 'We do." However, the very thought reminds us to ask ourselves: How much have we to offer them in the way of happiness and freedom in a country which has not yet succeeded in 'amending its Constitution to protect children from the bondage of economic exploitation? How much opportunity can we offer them in a land where many- people cannot afford to buy the things that American children are helping.to produce by endless labor in the fields and factories? While we take these orphans ol Ihe political storms of Europe, let us give thought to caring for those millions of children are refugees of America's political anc social failures.
